Looks great to me.

Must be nice to take a 3hr. ride.
Excellent


Thanx ProCharge. This is just a demo acct. I'm in one for USDJPN and its not showing me too much love ATM.

See the attached pix. Long at the dotted green line. I'm shooting for the 1st (top) red line, but I'm wondering if I should have try to shoot for the 2nd red line instead (which hasn't hit yet). Not sure if I'm grasping this correctly...

it looks ok to me if we are seeing the same thing

draw lines on your chart of where u have the zlines that made you make your decisions



I'm looking at the top gray line as the z-line.



i agree with the exit----just trying to see what you see


what were you looking at to make you want to go long?


That's the problem. I have no idea how to get into a trade. I'm guessing that PIN bar at the bottom with a bit of confirmation on the next (entry) bar?

Hmm. I was actually looking at the 3 down bars as the MOMO and to ZL on. Guess I need to figure out what the ZL is for entry...

well the 3 down bars were momo to the downside. They in return zl'ed other traders sitting with a profit, and at the same time created another instance of held profit from the downside. Then we had an increase in momentum which created a mz-Zl situation and then went up and zl'ed the held profit from the short side.

again

zl-mz are not entry signals per say

u want momentum in order to trade.

momentum

trade accordingly

zl other traders

repeat

body in direction of profit wick in direction of loss
